Manufacturer’s Recommendation:

Metrologic recommends the use of an external power supply with IS6520­47/MS6520 Keyboard Wedge applications. Powering the IS6520-47/MS6520
directly from the computer keyboard connector could interfere with the operation
of the scanner or the computer. Not all computers supply the same current
through the keyboard port, explaining why a scanner would work on one
computer and not another.

Caution:

To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must meet
the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN 60950.

To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 950/UL 1950 and norm EN 60950, the power
source should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.

AUDIBLE INDICATORS

When the IS6520/MS6520 scanner is in operation, it provides audible feedback.
These sounds indicate the status of the scanner. Eight settings are available for
the tone of the beep (normal, 6 alternate tones and no tone). To change the
tone, refer to the MetroSelect

One Beep

When the scanner first receives power, the green LED will
turn on, then the red LED will flash and the scanner will
beep once. (The red LED will remain on for the duration of
the beep.) The scanner is ready to scan.

When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red
LED will flash and the scanner beeps once (if programmed
to do so). If the scanner does not beep once and the green
light does not flash, then the bar code has not been
successfully read.

Razzberry Tone

This tone is a failure indicator. Refer to “Failure
Modes" page 10.

Three Beeps - During Operation

During operation of the scanner, the red LED will flash while
the scanner simultaneously beeps three times (while going
into programming mode).

®

Programming Guide MLPN 2407.

The red LED will continue to flash until the unit exits
program mode. Upon exiting program mode, the scanner
will beep three times and the red LED will stop flashing.
When configured, 3 beeps can also indicate a
communications timeout during normal scanning mode.

When using one-code-programming, the scanner will beep
three times (the current selected tone), followed by a short
pause then by a high tone and a low tone. This tells the
user that the single configuration bar code has successfully
configured the scanner.

Three Beeps - On Power Up
This is a failure indicator. Refer to “Failure Modes” on page

10.

9

FAILURE MODES

Flashing Green and One Razzberry Tone

This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser
subsystem failure. Return the unit for repair at an
authorized service center.

Flashing Green and Red and Two Razzberry
Tones

This indicates the scanner has experienced a motor failure.
Return the unit for repair at an authorized service center.

Continuous Razzberry Tone with Both LEDs Off
If, upon power up, the scanner emits a continuous razzberry
tone, then the scanner has an electronic failure. Return the
unit for repair at an authorized service center.

10

Three Beeps - On Power Up

If the scanner beeps 3 times on power up then, the non­volatile memory that holds the scanner configuration has
failed. Return the unit for repair at an authorized service
center.

VISUAL INDICATORS

There is a red LED and a green LED on IS6520/MS6520. When the scanner is
on, the flashing or stationary, activity of the LEDs indicates the status of the
current scan and the scanner.

No Red or Green LED

The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving
power from the host or transformer.

Steady Green

When the laser is active, the green LED is illuminated. The
green LED will remain illuminated until the laser is deactivated.
During the power save mode, the laser will turn on and turn off.
During this period, the green LED remains illuminated.

Steady Green and Single Red Flash

When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red LED
will flash and the scanner will beep once. If the red LED does not
flash or the scanner does not beep once, then the bar code has
not been successfully read.

Steady Green and Steady Red

After a successful scan, the scanner transmits the data to the
host device. Some communication modes require that the host
inform the scanner when data is ready to be received. If the host
is not ready to accept the information, the scanner's red LED will
remain on until the data can be transmitted.

Steady Green and Flashing Red

This indicates the scanner is in program mode. A razzberry tone
indicates that an invalid bar code has been scanned in this mode.

Steady Red, Green Off

This indicates the scanner may be waiting for communication
from the host.

11

PROGRAMMING MODES

The IS6520/MS6520 Cubit® has 3 modes of programming.

Bar Codes: Cubit can be configured by scanning the bar codes located in the
MetroSelect

®

Configuration Guide (MLPN 2407). Please refer to this guide for
instructions. This manual can be downloaded for FREE from Metrologic’s
website (www.metrologic.com).

MetroSet

®

: This user-friendly Windows-based configuration program allows you

to simply ‘point-and-click’ at the desired scanner options. This program can be
downloaded for FREE from Metrologic’ website (www.metrologic.com), or set-up
disks can be ordered by calling
1-800-ID-METRO.

Serial Programming: This mode of programming is ideal for OEM applications.
This mode gives the end-user the ability to send a series of commands using the
serial port of the host system. The commands are equivalent to the numerical
values of the bar codes located in the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (MLPN

2407).

How does Serial Programming work?

1. Each command sent to the scanner is the ASCII representation of each

numeral in the configuration bar code. The entire numeric string is framed
with an ASCII [stx] and an ASCII [etx].

EXAMPLE #1: Command for Disabling Codabar
Command = [stx]100104[etx]
String Sent to Scanner = 02h 31h 30h 30h 31h 30h 34h 03h
(All values are hexadecimal).

2. If the command sent to the scanner is valid, the scanner will respond with an

[ack].

3. If the command sent to the scanner in invalid, the scanner will respond with a

[nak].

NOTE: If this occurs, the end-user must start over at the very beginning of

the configuration sequence. Simply re-tranmsitting the invalid
command will not work, you must start over.

4. During programming, the motor and laser remain active. YOU CANNOT

SCAN ANY BAR CODES WHILE IN PROGRAM MODE.

5. There is a 20 second window between commands. If a 20 second timeout

occurs, the scanner will send a [nak] and you must start over.

12

PROGRAMMING MODES (CONTINUED)

6. To enter serial program mode, send the following command [stx]999999[etx].

7. To exit serial program mode, send the following command [stx]999999[etx],

the scanner will respond with an [ack] and a long beep.

8. This mode uses the current Baud Rate, Parity, Stop Bits and Data Bits

settings that are configured in the scanner. The default settings of the
scanner are 9600, Space, 2, 7 respectively. If a command is sent to the
scanner to change any of these settings, the change will NOT take effect
until after serial program mode is exited.

EXAMPLE #2: The following example will set the scanner to the factory
default settings, Disable Scanning of Code 128 bar codes, change the
beeper tone, and add a “G” as a programmable prefix.

Code Byte 1 [stx]1[etx] 02h 31h 03h [ack] or 06h

Exit Program Mode [stx]999999[etx] 02h 39h 39h 39h 39h 39h 39h 03h [ack] or 06h

The scanner will emit a long beep!

ASCII REPRESENTATION RESPONSE

The commands sent to the scanner do not include the small superscripted ‘3’
that you see in front of each bar code string in the MetroSelect

®

manual.
THE ‘3’ SHOULD NOT BE SENT, IT IS A CODE TYPE DESIGNATION
ONLY!

As you will note for commands requiring additional bar codes to be scanned
(such as prefixes, suffixes, timeouts, etc.), simply send the code bytes in the
same order that you would normally scan the bar codes.

13

PROGRAMMING MODES (CONTINUED)

EXAMPLE #3: The following example shows the events that occur when an
invalid bar code is sent. This sample will load the factory default settings
and then set the baud rate to 19200.

HOST SCANNER

FEATURE COMMAND

Enter Program Mode [stx]999999[etx] 02h 39h 39h 39h 39h 39h 39h 03h [ack] or 06h

Load Defaults [stx]99999:[etx] 02h 39h 39h 39h 39h 39h 3Ah 03h [nak] or 15h

Invalid command was sent, you must start over!

Enter Program Mode [stx]999999[etx] 02h 39h 39h 39h 39h 39h 39h 03h [ack] or 06h

Load Defaults [stx]999998[etx] 02h 39h 39h 39h 39h 39h 39h 03h [ack] or 06h

19200 Baud Rate [stx]415870[etx] 02h 34h 31h 35h 38h 37h 30h 03h [ack] or 06h

Exit Program Mode [stx]999999[etx] 02h 39h 39h 39h 39h 39h 39h 03h [ack] or 06h

The scanner will emit a long beep!

This example illustrates 2 important points.

First, if an invalid command is sent from the host, the scanner responds with
a [nak] and the end-user must start over from the beginning.

Second, if a command is sent to change the Baud Rate, the new baud rate
does not take effect until after the end-user exits program mode.

Notices

Notice

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense. Any unauthorized changes or modifications to
this equipment could void the users authority to operate this device.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Notice

This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

Remarque

Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

Caution

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result
in hazardous laser light exposure. Under no circumstances should the customer attempt to service the
laser scanner. Never attempt to look at the laser beam, even if the scanner appears to be nonfunctional.
Never open the scanner in an attempt to look into the device. Doing so could result in hazardous laser
light exposure. The use of optical instruments with the laser equipment will increase eye hazard.

Atención

La modificación de los procedimientos, o la utilización de controles o ajustes distintos de los
especificados aquí, pueden provocar una luz de láser peligrosa. Bajo ninguna circunstancia el usuario
deberá realizar el mantenimiento del láser del escáner. Ni intentar mirar al haz del láser incluso cuando
este no esté operativo. Tampoco deberá abrir el escáner para examinar el aparato. El hacerlo puede
conllevar una exposición peligrosa a la luz de láser. El uso de instrumentos ópticos con el equipo láser
puede incrementar el riesgo para la vista.

Attention

L'emploi de commandes, réglages ou procédés autres que ceux décrits ici peut entraîner de graves
irradiations. Le client ne doit en aucun cas essayer d'entretenir lui-même le scanner ou le laser. Ne
regardez jamais directement le rayon laser, même si vous croyez que le scanner est inactif. N'ouvrez
jamais le scanner pour regarder dans l'appareil. Ce faisant, vous vous exposez à une rayonnement
laser qú êst hazardous. L'emploi d'appareils optiques avec cet équipement laser augmente le risque
d'endommagement de la vision.

Achtung

Die Verwendung anderer als der hier beschriebenen Steuerungen, Einstellungen oder Verfahren kann
eine gefährliche Laserstrahlung hervorrufen. Der Kunde sollte unter keinen Umständen versuchen, den
Laser-Scanner selbst zu warten. Sehen Sie niemals in den Laserstrahl, selbst wenn Sie glauben, daß
der Scanner nicht aktiv ist. Öffnen Sie niemals den Scanner, um in das Gerät hineinzusehen. Wenn Sie
dies tun, können Sie sich einer gefährlichen Laserstrahlung aussetzen. Der Einsatz optischer Geräte
mit dieser Laserausrüstung erhöht das Risiko einer Sehschädigung.

Attenzione

L’utilizzo di sistemi di controllo, di regolazioni o di procedimenti diversi da quelli descritti nel presente
Manuale può provocare delle esposizioni a raggi laser rischiose. Il cliente non deve assolutamente
tentare di riparare egli stesso lo scanner laser. Non guardate mai il raggio laser, anche se credete che
lo scanner non sia attivo. Non aprite mai lo scanner per guardare dentro l’apparecchio. Facendolo
potete esporVi ad una esposizione laser rischiosa. L’uso di apparecchi ottici, equipaggiati con raggi
laser, aumenta il rischio di danni alla vista.
